Comparison of Concrete Reinforced Building System and
Light Steel Building System
Content
• Light steel Building System is a system that is principally preferred in U.S., Canada, Australia, and Europe, and especially in developing markets, it has the potential for being the most preferred system among building systems. In developping markets, in order that innovative building system can have the chance against commonly used systems, its advantages need to be better understood by end users.
• Accordingly, we hope that following information will clear away your hesitations.

We hope that comparative results of concrete reinforced and light steel building system will satisfy you against negative points of view.
Comparison table obtained from a simple sample is the most comprehensible and effective method.
Technical Comparisons / Architectural
Technical Comparisons / Results
Concrete reinforced building system requires longer construction period than light steel building system. For example; formwork operations dwell period generally lasts longer.

Light Steel Building System
Generally, columns and girders jut out from the walls in villas built by concrete reinforced building system. This condition can be corrected by filling the cavities with plasterboard with cost overrun or by laying thick briquettes.

Structural Comparisons / WEIGHT
Light steel structure is homogenous, isotropic, of hight ductility and durable. Human factor is very important in reinforced concrete building system.
Light steel is manufactured at plant. Concrete reinforced building
system is hand made.
About System & Material
Galvanization provides lifetime protection against the corrosion.

About System & Material
Generally concrete reinforced
building system have
disadvantages about the sensitivity.

Electrical & Mechanical
Electric and mechanic do not require crushing-dumping works as in concrete reinforced building system during repair and aplication in light steel building system, installation holes in light steel building system are determined during design at body pillars and floor beam, holes are opened during the production at the plant.

Building Physics Comparison
LIGHT STEEL BUILDING SYSTEM PROVIDES;
- Sound isolation from 50 dB to 55 dB - Heat isolation from the value of 0,36 W/m2 K to 0,4 W/m2 K - Fire resistance up to 90 minutes.

Ecological Design Concept
• Green building concept (building sensitive to the environment sustainable architectural product) is a practice for practically increasing the effect that will be left on human health and natural environment by sources used in building construction such as energy-water-materials within process that will be defined as design-production-usage and end of usage.
• Structural material most suitable for this concept is predominantly the steel.
• Steel is a material 90% of which is recyclable.
• Its quality and durability are of first priority. It is a material that is recyclable and suitable for usage.
• Interior places having healthy air conditions proposed by American Association of Lung can be realized by light steel building system.
Examination from Ecological Aspect
Comparison of Cultural Reasons
• It is a building system that is started being used commonly after the earthquake of 1999 in Turkey.
• There is a concern about vibration and cavities in the walls in light steel building system.
• Light steel building system is a system suitable for being able to complete the projects rapidly.
• Its awareness and usage is wide in Turkey,
• Technical personnel and contractor company knowing concrete reinforced building are common.
• Concrete reinforced building can be preferred without guestion in regions not having the risk of earthquake.
Concrete Reinforced Building System Light Steel Building System
Concrete Reinforced Building System
• The fact that concrete reinforced buildings consist of heavy and strong elements is
perceived as a long lasting and durable building system in memories of the pepole in
Turkey.• All building materials industries
produce materials that can be used in concrete reinforced
buildings.
• Because of the fact that all building materials used in light steel building system are the materials used in concrete reinforced building system expect for steel sections, thee is no problem in its supply.
• Light steel building system is preferred because of the fact that is gives possibility for building without pausing in all climatic conditions.
Light Steel Building System
